triple-dime bet 972 NYY (-130) Hilton vs 971 BOS
Analysis: I'm playing on the NEW YORK YANKEES. The Red Sox put up three in the top of the first inning yesterday and never looked back, eventually earning a 6-4 victory. Today, I expect the Yankees to bounce back with and even up the series.
Burnett had been really struggling on the road for some time. In fact, before his last start, he was 0-5 with a 5.64 ERA in his previous 11 road starts. He changed that last time out though, "getting the monkey off his back" with a solid victory at Oakland. Now, he returns home, where he's been pitching well all season. I look for him to keep the positive momentum going for another start.
Burnett is 5-1 with a very solid 3.63 ERA and 1.142 WHIP at home. He's averaging greater than six innings per start here. His teams are also 5-1 his last six home starts in the month of June.
Burnett has only made one home start vs. the Red Sox, as a member of the Yankees. He tossed 7 2/3 shutout innings in that 8/7/2009 game, leading the Yankees to a 2-0 victory.
The Red Sox won Wakefield's last road start. However, they're still 3-7 his last 10 away from Fenway. They're also 2-5 in his last seven road starts vs. the Yankees, dating back to 2005. Overall, the Red Sox are an ugly 5-11 in Wakefield's last 16 starts vs. the Yankees.
The Red Sox check in with at 5-9 (-5.4) the last 14 times that they played a road game with an O/U line of 10 or 10.5. During that stretch, the Yankees have gone 37-18 when playing a home game with an O/U line of 10 or 10.5. With Burnett getting the better of Wakefield, I expect them to pad those stats here. 3*

DAVID MALINSKY
4* Baltimore Orioles -138
We can lift much of this from what we wrote in turning that 4* ticket against Oakland yesterday – the A’s simply bring precious little to the table right now. The offense is punchless, the IF defense has to work around having rookies at 2B and 3B, and tonight there is value to work against Josh Outman, who has not been as respectable as that 1-0/4.02 over three starts makes him out to be. So we are in play again vs. a team that has been out-scored by multiple Runs seven times in their current 0-8 malaise.
Outman is not ready for this level yet. He missed all of 2010 while recovering from elbow surgery, and through his first eight starts at AAA he labored to a 4.78, with an alarming count of 27 W’s over 37.2 IP. That is a truly awful ratio at that level, where hitters are overly aggressive as they try to swing their way to The Show. But injuries to the Oakland rotation forced a call up, and his command issues have continued – he actually sports an ERA below league average despite an awful count of 9 W’s vs. only six K’s through those three starts. One of them was against these Orioles two games back, when he tight-roped into only giving up two Runs over six IP despite allowing six Hits, five W’s, and only getting two K’s. Now it is a quick second look for an offense that did not have Luke Scott or Derrek Lee against him in that game, and there could not be a better sign for the Orioles last night than Scott hitting a 2B and a HR, the latter finding its way out onto Eutaw Street. It was his first dinger since May 3rd, and is a sign that a few days off has him swinging without pain again.
Meanwhile Zach Britton has worked to a confident 3-2/2.60 from this mound, with 2.94 W’s per 9, and if you throw strikes you are on your way against the limited lumber that the A’s bring. And with Jeremy Accardo the only one in the Baltimore bullpen carrying a fatigue rating, Buck Showalter has ample options to work through the latter

ANDY ISKOE
Rays at Angels
Pick: Under 7
This is the most attractive matchup on Wednesday's card and the Angels have their "ace" in Jered Weaver looking to snap a 4 game losing streak and salvage the final game of their 3 game series with Tampa Bay. Tampa counters with James Shields who is enjoying a season almost on a statistical par with Weaver and these are two of the best starting pitchers in the American League. Neither offense is consistently potent and both starters are more than capable of going at least 7 innings while giving up little. Both are in excellent current form and each has been able to limit baserunners. In 2011 6 1/2 is become more and more a common Total, even in the American League, and games continue to stay UNDER. At a Total of 7 this play becomes even a bit stronger albeit with vig attached as opposed to roughly Even money (or a slight plus) to stay UNDER 6 1/2.
